[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 2984310, member: 2012"] [COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=3][B]Sabres' Dumont awarded $2.9M contract[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [B]Associated Press[/B] [I]8/2/2006 4:54:56 PM[/I] [B]Buffalo Sabres forward J.P. Dumont was awarded a one-year, $2.9 million US contract in salary arbitration on Wednesday, driving the team's escalating payroll even higher.[/B] A seven-year NHL veteran, Dumont received a $1.3 million raise over last season, when he registered 20 goals and 20 assists. Dumont reached 20 goals for the fourth time despite missing 28 games after he had surgery to repair a sports hernia in December. Dumont then played an important role in the Sabres' extended playoff run, finishing with seven goals - including one in overtime in the second round against Ottawa - and seven assists in 18 games. He is the second Sabres player to receive an arbitration award after co-captain Daniel Briere was issued a $5 million contract, which represented a $3 million raise over last season. The Sabres have one more player to go in arbitration, with fourth-line forward Adam Mair's hearing scheduled for Friday. Buffalo must still decide whether to accept Briere or Dumont's salaries. The team has the option to walk away from one of them 48 hours after reaching a deal with Mair or after an arbitrator awards Mair's salary by Sunday. The Sabres have avoided arbitration with nine players, including reaching a three-year, $10 million deal with Maxim Afinogenov, the team's leading scorer last season. Buffalo's rising payroll has become a significant issue this offseason. Among the NHL's smaller-market franchises, the Sabres reached the Eastern Conference finals - losing in Game 7 to eventual Stanley Cup champion Carolina - despite a relatively modest $29 million payroll, about $10 million under the salary cap. Including Dumont and Briere, the team's payroll would now stand at about $37 million. The Sabres still have two key unrestricted free agents to fit in under the new $44 million cap: goaltender Ryan Miller, who's coming off a 30-win season, and defenceman Dmitri Kalinin. Mair is expected to receive a slight raise over his $450,000 salary last year. [/QUOTE]
